Although not autobiographical in any usual sense, Val茅ry’s novel is profoundly personal. Monsieur Teste reflects Val茅ry’s preoccupation with the phenomenon of a mind detached from sensibility, yet he is also an ordinary fictional character. This volume includes 鈥淪napshots of Monsieur Teste,鈥� excerpts from Val茅ry’s Cahiers.
